I agree with all of this and I would also add Duplicity as a possible candidate, although not quite as simple to use as BorgBackup (I haven't tried Dirvish) I usually end up putting a wrapper script around such tasks anyway. If you have your offsite backups in another building, how will you get the backups there? If they are networked, great, but if it relies on you physically moving hard drives between locations, it won't be done when you need it. Cloud storage is cheap these days and most backup programs have an option to store encrypted data on an external service. I'm currently using a combination of Duplicity and Hubic for this. -- Neil Bothwick <Linuxgeek> How do i find the model of my card? <Serena[T]> your nick is misleading, seriously
